(Heavy guitar riff intro )
(Verse 1- strained, emotional vocals)
Why do you look in that mirror to criticize?
Why do you never see the beautiful soul, just the body size?
When will you stop being so smart, and become truly wise?
Tell me, dear me, when will you open your eyes?
(Verse 2 - building intensity)
Why do you buy those clothes that you know aren't you,
Just because someone else said that's what you should do?
Why do you change your color and the style of your hair?
Why do you look at yourself and try to be someone else, I swear?
(Pre-Chorus - raw emotion, almost spoken)
Picking apart every little thing, a constant war within
Chipping away at your own light, where does it end?
(Chorus - powerful, soaring vocals, drums kick in)
Dear Me, can you hear me? Are you listening now?
This battlefield inside your head, you gotta break it down!
Dear Me, I'm screaming, I'm begging you to see
The masterpiece you are, the real, authentic you, Dear Me!
(Verse 3 - more controlled, but still passionate)
Stop looking for the flaws, stop scratching at your perfection
With someone else's claws, their twisted reflection
You're beautiful as you are, a vibrant work of art
And you are good enough for anything and anyone, right from the start
(Verse 4 - building towards the chorus again)
You're amazing and sweet, you love when others hate
You rise above the whispers, you seal your own fate
Stop your first class, not second rate, you're a queen, don't you wait
To claim your rightful place, before it gets too late
(Pre-Chorus - building intensity)
Picking apart every little thing, a constant war within
Chipping away at your own light, where does it end?
(Chorus - powerful, soaring vocals, drums kick in, maybe add some backing vocals here)
Dear Me, can you hear me? Are you listening now?
This battlefield inside your head, you gotta break it down!
Dear Me, I'm screaming, I'm begging you to see
The masterpiece you are, the real, authentic you, Dear Me!
(Bridge - stripped back, more vulnerable, maybe just vocals and a simple guitar riff)
The world will try to tell you, you're not enough, you're wrong
But their voices are just echoes, they can't touch your song
You hold the power, you hold the key, to unlock the real you
So let the walls come crashing down, and finally break through
(Guitar solo - powerful, emotional, building to a crescendo)
(Chorus - powerful, soaring vocals, drums and bass are heavy)
Dear Me, can you hear me? Are you listening now?
This battlefield inside your head, you gotta break it down!
Dear Me, I'm screaming, I'm begging you to see
The masterpiece you are, the real, authentic you, Dear Me!
(Outro - fading out with powerful vocals and heavy guitar riff)
Dear Me… (Repeat and fade)
